Hey! That is excellent to hear! Would be the 5th Tesla here in NL. A 90D would be awesome!

Hello. Sorry for the delayed response. Haven't been on TMC for a while. The project is complete! All donations have been received and all suppliers/electricians have been paid. The charger is up and running and waiting for people to come to Newfoundland to use it :)

Awesome thanks David! Anyone who wishes to use Paypal or an email money transfer can send their donations to: [email protected]

There are quite a few down on High Street. Riverside Convenience is right down on the end of the street but its not a very far walk to anywhere on the street. Riverside also has a eat-in and take-out restaurant with quite a large selection. They also have a new frozen yogurt bar that I think...

It's been a long time coming but I can finally say this crowd funded EV charging station in GFW will be operational as of tomorrow! We had several issues that arose trying to find a host location, old electrical panels, unresponsive electricians to name a few but the wait will have been worth...

Hey Jaff, just seeing this post now! Glad to hear that your EV charging needs were met along your journey in NL. I didn't know that you had to charge up in GFW on your way to Deer Lake. Good to know that it's there if someone is ever in a pinch. However, once the SCH-100 is installed at the...

Took this photo today at Cape Spear (most easterly point of NA) looking towards Signal Hill which you can just barely pick out in the background. Beautiful here in NL when the weather is nice :P Hope lots of Tesla owners come to NL this summer to visit and make use of this new charger that we...

Wow that's a pretty sweet deal! I guess with all those excellent hydro resources demand is not a huge problem for them like it is here in NL. We have a good amount of hydro here as well but also have an old thermal generation station that provides a lot of the power and the utility, NL Hydro is...

Yes we looked at that option but the threshold where utility adds a demand charge is only 10 kW... so even on its own service, assuming its used monthly, they would pay for the 9.6 kW above the 10 which at $9.1/kW would be still be about $1,000 per year in demand charges plus the fee for having...

Yes, we have already paid for the charger from SCH to the tune of $3,300. They said that we needed to purchase the unit before they would begin work on looking for a location...

Unfortunately, I have become disappointed in SCH more and more over the last couple of months. I've tried repeatedly to get updates from them with no success. I've tried via email and phone and very little luck. I reached out three times last week and did not get a single response from them. I...

Bill gates posted this awesome video of him and Neal Stephenson driving in a Model X over on his website. Not sure if the Model X is his or not. I couldn't find anywhere online about him owning one. The Day the Moon Blew Up

Hello! Sorry I haven't posted an update on this project for awhile! It has mainly been because we have been have a difficult time locating a host location in GFW and I didn't want to report back until I had some good news! :) A small business owner in GFW is interested in hosting the charger...

Meeting was very good! They were impressed we were able to raise the funds so quickly. All thanks to several extremely generous donations. I'm still blown away by people stepping up. We discussed the following: Time Frame - Should be no problem to have charger installed and operational by...
